Fabian’s Zeitgeist is a globally-minded podcast exploring how current events, economics, social shifts, policies, and politics shape the world we live in.
I offer bold commentary and personal insight on topics that matter—not just to me, but to many. This podcast is my way of making sense of the world—and opening the door to thoughtful dialogue.
Whether you’re in Berlin, Boston, Bangalore, Bucharest or even in places that don’t start with a B, but where ideas are welcome, you’re in the right place.
I welcome critical and contradictory opinions. Why? Because, as Socrates said, Scio me nihil scire (“I know that I know nothing”) .
Only through open conversations can we learn, grow, refine our perspectives, and—even better—change them when presented with stronger arguments.
Thank you for listening in and for engaging with this journey of thought.
Warmly,
Fabian

Are we facing a world with too many people or too few? In this episode of Fabian’s Zeitgeist, we dive into the global population paradox—an urgent issue at the heart of economics, politics, and the survival of humanity.
Discover how humanity surged from 1 billion to 8 billion people in just 200 years, and why this explosive growth is now giving way to stark demographic contrasts:
Aging societies in Europe, Japan, and China struggling with declining birth rates.
Youth-driven population booms in Africa and parts of the Global South.
Migration pressures reshaping borders, politics, and economies worldwide.
We’ll also discuss Elon Musk’s controversial warning that the real threat to civilization isn’t overpopulation—it’s population collapse. Is he right? And how does that align with today’s demographic trends?
Plus, the eerie lessons from Universe 25, the famous experiment showing how societies can collapse even in abundance. Could it foreshadow our future?
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why population growth skyrocketed after the Industrial Revolution.
How medical and agricultural revolutions changed human destiny.
The economic and ethical dilemmas of overpopulation vs. underpopulation.
What Universe 25 reveals about abundance, stress, and societal design.
Why thinkers like Elon Musk fear declining birth rates more than overpopulation.
Whether you’re worried about overpopulation, aging nations, climate change, or global migration, this episode will challenge your assumptions and spark new questions.
Tune in to explore the future of humanity—because the numbers aren’t just statistics, they shape the world we live in.
